Also. The lake (the new one) is built now and full of water. It's been like that since November.

The huge mound of earth is on the part of thd oark that us set to be pkaying fields according to the Council's sign by the underpass between Ballards Walk open space and Gloucester Park up by Nicholas Lane roundabout . There was also one visible by the underpass leading to Roundacre roundabout until the green hoarding went up by the so called boating kake.

I live a few doors down from Mr Jobs Worth. The building work doesn't affect us. They are building new homes, so there will be a bit of mud. They have to put it somewhere. Deal with it....it's really not that bad. It's not particularly pretty, but it's also not forever.
When the original groundwork's started, we could feel the ground mildly shake for a second or two, but very very rarely. But since then, we've barely known it's been going on. There's no noise, no mess, no inconvenience, so no problem. You're creating a drama out of nothing Buxton. You obviously crave attention, as next to most pointless "stories" about the area, there is a picture of your gormless self. If you want to be in the paper for no apparent reason, then ask the Echo to run a story about you getting locked out of your house late the other night, and waking up half the street by banging on your doors and windows shouting "Dion, wake up. Let me in, it's me" at the top of your voice.
Get a life, or a hobby, or better still a job that you have to leave the house for. That way, you won't be at home to listen to the imaginary racket.

Nor was AB.

That thought had occured to me but if you look closely at this spoil heap it has remained remarkably stable and well drained throughout the months of extreme rain etc.

I regularly walk through the park and around this area of development and have watched this pile of mud grow. The pile of mud on the site of the old swimming pool was much the same and seems to be being used to fill in the boating lake void. One would presume that a decent proportion of the mound the photo will be utilised for the same purpose.

If the Council's projections and plans for the site in general can be trusted to be adhered to this will have to be removed and the ground returned to grass fir playing fields but that will remain to be seen.
